U-Haul and Budget Truck Rentals - Up to 30% Off
This is my first topic posted in the Hot Deals section. This is not really a super amazing deal or anything like that, but, as you know, when you're looking to save some money, anything can help.
I am moving my belongings from Phoenix, Arizona to Denver, Colorado and I was wanting to rent a truck from a renting service to move all of my belongings from the storage unit in a single trip. The price of gas continues to grow and I was dreading the prices that I would have to pay for both the truck and the gas, but I was surprised to find out that it really wasn't that bad.
I received a U-Haul 16" Moving Truck for $150.00 with roughly 1,000 miles discounted from $188.00 with about 850 miles. My total discount was 30% off the normal price.
U-Haul [uhaul.com] is one of the most well-known truck rental agencies. They are located nationwide and they would be the simplest for a move, but their prices and their mileage are far from being the best, so a friend recommended me Budget Truck Rental [budgettruck.com] with better prices, mileage, and hefty deposits and fees for anyone under the age of 24; additionally, Budget Truck Rental offers a 10% discount on its regular fee [budgettruck.com] for one-way movers! In addition, there is a 15% discount and 20% discount from my movers' packet that stacks with the 10% discount!
I wanted to stick with U-Haul to avoid the deposits and fees from Budget Truck Rental, so I called them up and price matched the Budget Truck Rental estimate: the 10% off, the 20% off, the price, and the mileage — everything went through perfectly. U-Haul does not have any heavy fees or deposits for drivers, so, like I said, this is an ideal move to make if you're trying to watch your cost or already had a deal with U-Haul.
To summarize, please refer to the following model:
I realize that this is not a big secret or anything like that, but I searched over the forums and found very little for Slick Dealers that might be moving, so I thought that I would post this little guide. I hope that it helps someone!

If you call your local U-Haul, Budget, Ryder, etc., they are often able to reduce where the national 1-800 won't. I got my rental down another almost $400 by just playing the two local guys against each other. Had a reservation at both places, called to cancel at U-Haul, told them Ryder was cheaper, they beat them. Called Ryder to cancel, they beat U-Haul price. Well worth the 10 minutes on the phone. This was after haggling down the 1-800 people.

one way trip 16' box truck from Penske - sacramento to Los Angeles for $180 out the door. unlimited miles.
I did opt for damage insurance, and they screwed me a bit on that..but still all-in-all the overall price was good. they tried to get me for $45 for damage waiver, I negotiated it down on the spot at the counter a bit... but honestly I think I could have got a better deal for the damage waiver from the 1800 sales reps during the initial negotiations.
during the negotiations I would call the reps on the 1800 number.. and they were all shocked at my price quote and said they had never seen that large of a discount before. my overall discount ended up being OVER 30% I cant remember exactly how much, but I think like 35% off
when I tried to beat the price with uhaul, they couldn't even come close to it.
only bad thing about the truck was that it didn't have cruise control, and it got 8mpg it was a ford, also it was uncomfortable, not much leg room and no way to recline the seat.
So I called the U-Haul 1800 to cancel my reservation. Rep asked why, I said Penske crushed your price, and even though U-Haul was my first choice I had to go with Penske. She said "you know we price match don't you" I said "I did not know that
Thanks OP.

I used the code on 3/28, they only gave 25% off. I did 285 miles move at $0.52/mile, better than Uhaul.

I had the same situation on a 1 way move from Cleveland to Raleigh 3 years ago. Budget wasn't even close with coupons to Uhauls posted prices.
